scrapbookbuzz Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Come on in! Today's treat is a smorgasboard of PopTarts accompanied by the coffee, tea, or milk of your choice. What's on your agenda today? Here: SURVIVING. Getting my own homework done, keeping the kids on task, and taking dd's new kitten to get her sutures taken out. Next year, I think I might take a brief sabbatical from my own schooling just so I don't have to study the last two weeks of December! :tongue_smilie: Talk to me! :coolgleamA: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannanlee Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 We finished up Math and Bible. We read a Chapter of A Christmas Carol which is our current Read aloud. We are to Christmas party hosted by my husband's office. When we get back we will finish off English hopefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Good morning! Today's agenda is getting out all 100 plus Christmas newsletters and baking at least half of the 6 kinds of cookies that dd11 has ambitiously chosen to bake.

scrapbookbuzz Posted December 18, 2012 Author Share Posted December 18, 2012 I just cannot concentrate on my own schoolwork right now. Think I may go occupy the empty office where my husband works! Jean, hope all the cookies get baked! Shannanlee, hope the party was fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapbookbuzz Posted December 18, 2012 Author Share Posted December 18, 2012 Change of plans. Took the kitten to get her sutures out, then bought Taco Bell. Now at home eating said Taco Bell. Trying to decided where I will be post productive with my own studying. When you have to study something or get a grasp on an idea where do you go?

Jean in Newcastle Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I go to the library or the Y. I do my best studying where there is background noise that I know is not for me so that I can block it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
athena1277 Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 We are almost done with schoolwork for the day. It's a rare warm-ish day for Dec., so we are about to head out for some bike riding. The kids really need to burn off some energy, before they end up in trouble! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen in CO Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Good afternoon. Youngest is sick with a little cold so we're both cozy on the couch. She's watching movies and drinking warm tea while I'm cuddled in the blankets with her and working. After years of working at home, I'm really good at tuning everyone out. Everyone has also learned when they need to leave me alone. I get the quiet I need or everyone gets sent outside - easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluemongoose Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 So far we have done a quick school time for our together subjects. DD will do some independent work later during nap, and DS will finish his math problems then too. I think I am going to turn on the manatee cam now as that is what we are studying in science. I am hoping to get some laundry done and some sewing of Christmas presents in, but honestly, I am not very productive right now. I keep glancing outside and worrying about DH. We are having our first snow, and snow out here is a bad thing. We do not have roads that are good in snow, our road is not deiced ever, and it is a windy roller coaster hilly road. DH took the worst car for snow travel that we have to work today, and he is in a meeting. I am hoping he can make it home safely. I am trying to convince him via email to get home now...he is not convinced yet. :glare: I might be baking cookies just to keep myself from bugging him repeatedly.

scrapbookbuzz Posted December 18, 2012 Author Share Posted December 18, 2012 Can I have some cookies?? Karen, I would love to be able to send the kids outside. However, we live in the city, in a townhouse, in a 'just okay' neighborhood. I SO want to move! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannanlee Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Scrapbook it was ok. We played an ancient family feud game from the 80's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapbookbuzz Posted December 19, 2012 Author Share Posted December 19, 2012 Shannanlee, I'm sure there were some chuckles with that! Bluemongoose, did your hubby make it home yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
